This year the AGM was led by Sydney Convicts President Ken Averre, who shared a number of the key moments that made up the year in the annual President's Report.

Here are some of the highlights from this year’s President's Report and our AGM:

Looking at our year on the field we:

delivered a strong performance for our Firsts team in the McLean Cup reaching the preliminary finals
saw our Seconds team take to the field in the Halligan Cup
became WINNERS of the 2023 Purchas Cup in Perth
welcomed a large number of new players and participants through our Pathways to Rugby coaching program
launched the Simon Dunn Memorial Trophy

Off the field saw the Club deliver once again a full calendar of social, community and fundraising events including Rugger Bugger, Trivia, Bunnings Sausage Sizzles, participation in Mardi Gras Fair Day and Parade, and significantly our first appearance at Parramatta Pride. Acknowledging the importance of supporting mental health, our Club Captains took the opportunity to participate in some basic mental health first aid training.

Ken shared a huge thank you to our friends, family, community and sponsors who supported us through the year, and paid tribute to Simon Dunn and Nathan John who tragically passed away this year.
